LCTF Awareness

Since 2010, The Lauren Currie Twilight Foundation has worked to raise global awareness of vasculitis. A mix of educational initiatives, progressive fundraising, and high profile events have made LCTF a driving force for the vasculitis community in Scotland and the UK.

Increasing awareness of vasculitis is a key objective of our charity. Vasculitis is relatively unknown –chances are you may not come across it unless you have been affected by it or know someone who has. Our goal is not only to raise awareness with the general public, but to provide information to improve knowledge and understanding for patients and in the medical community.

Smooth Radio Scotland Awareness Advert

We are delighted to launch our 2018 Awareness Advert on the wonderful Smooth Radio Scotland. The Ad will run in January.

Awareness is very important to LCTF as it is the difference between life or death as we know only too well. Vasculitis diagnosed and treated early offers a good prognosis so that is why we regularly fund campaigns to raise the public profile of the disease.

TV and Radio advertising campaigns

The world’s first TV advertising campaign for vasculitis was launched in October 2016. The ‘Join the Dots’ campaign ran on STV West, STV Glasgow, STV Edinburgh, and online and coincided with the launch of Vasculitis Scotland.

Over TV, online, and social media, this campaign was viewed by 750,000 people.

In 2015, LCTF used radio to promote the Vasculitis Awareness 5k walk and screening of the original movie in the Twilight saga. The campaign aired on Clyde, Northsound and Real Radio. This double event acted as a fundraiser for the charity as well as a strong awareness message for vasculitis across Scotland.

The Black & Red Ball

The Black & Red Ball is the pinnacle of LCTF’s fundraising and awareness calendar. In previous years, this annual event has hosted the likes of Shayne Ward and Nicholas MacDonald (X-Factor), Francine Lewis and Jai McDowell (Britain’s Got Talent) and Brit Award-winning Five. These high-profile headline acts have ensured a thoroughly entertaining evening for guests and has captured UK-wide media coverage and awareness for vasculitis.

This year’s event is on Friday 14th September and you can buy tickets here
